Monroe is known for its outdoor fun and chili dogs
Monroe is a city of more than 20,000 people on the western shores of Lake Erie. Thanks to the lake and the River Raisin, which runs through the heart of the community, residents can spend their free time by the water at places like the nearby Sterling State Park. Buyers are often drawn to the area's mix of housing styles and prices, and commuters can easily get to bigger cities like Detroit and Toledo. Events like the Monroe County Fair bring people together, as does a love of chili dogs and root beer, the area's signature snack.
The River Raisin runs through Monroe.
Bungalows are common in Monroe.

What people often pay for ranch-style and Colonial Revival homes
The city is mainly filled with bungalows, ranch-style houses and Colonial Revival homes, and buyers can find a few Victorian and Greek Revival homes in the Old Village Historic District. Properties can run from less than $100,000 to the mid-$500,000s, with houses near the lower end of the range often needing repairs. Duplexes, quadplexes and condos usually go from less than $100,000 to the upper $200,000s. The city's prices tend to be lower than those in South Monroe and nearby Frenchtown.

Fish and kayak on the River Raisin or explore Sterling State Park
The River Raisin runs through Monroe, and residents often fish and kayak on its waters. The River Raisin Heritage Trail stretches about 8 miles and connects many of the city's green spaces as well as nearby Sterling State Park. It's the only state park on the shores of Lake Erie, and it's a popular place for camping, hunting and biking, among other activities. Each winter, the park opens its trails for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The city's smaller green spaces, like St. Mary's Park, often have sports courts, playgrounds and picnic shelters. For a dash of history, you can visit River Raisin National Battlefield Park, where several battles took place during the War of 1812.
People often fish along the River Raisin, which runs through downtown Monroe.

The Monroe County Fair headlines the events calendar
The Monroe County Fair, a week-long summer tradition, is the city's main event. "People look forward to it all year round," says Drew Presto, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. "Businesses shut down for the week, and there are rides, 4-H [shows and classic fair food." Area musicians put on free performances at St. Mary's Park as part of the city's Summer Concert Series. The Harvest in the Park event, held each fall, has family-friendly games and plenty of food.
Pull through Vince's Drive-In or sit down for a meal at The Clamdigger
The city is best known for its Coney Island-style chili dogs and large mugs of root beer, with Monroe's Original Hot Dog and Vince's Drive-In being two of the most popular spots. If you're looking for a sit-down meal, you can try places like:
Pete's Garage, a car-themed bar and grill with American, Mexican and Italian favorites
The Clamdigger, a riverfront eatery that serves specialty pizzas
Public House, a downtown tavern with outdoor seating
People can go shopping at the nearby Mall of Monroe, which is home to stores like Bath & Body Works as well as restaurants and a movie theater.

Toledo is south of Monroe down Interstate 75.
Drivers can easily get to Detroit and Toledo
Interstate 75 and U.S. Route 24 run through the area, connecting commuters to the rest of the region. Toledo is around 20 miles away, or a 25- to 40-minute drive during rush hour. Detroit is roughly 40 miles out, and the drive often takes 40 minutes to an hour. Residents who don't commute often work for companies like La-Z-Boy, whose headquarters are in the city, and at DTE Electric Company's coal-fired Monroe Power Plant.
